Estimados Académicos FEN,
El martes 10 de noviembre se realizará el Seminario organizado por el Departamento de Economía, titulado Payroll Tax, Employment and Labor Market Concentration.
Expone: Renata Narita, University of São Paulo y Ph.D. in Economics, University College London.
Co-autores: Erik Baumgartner y Raphael Corbi.
Abstract: How much employment can be generated by decreasing payroll taxes? We examine this question by exploring the staggered rollout of a large payroll tax reform in Brazil. Using administrative matched employer-employee data, we find an increase of 5 percent on employment due to both firm growth and firm entry, no impact on wages and an increase of 59 percent in profits. Moreover, employment effects are driven by less concentrated labor markets, consistent with predictions from an oligopsony model.
Saludos cordiales,
